Rustic Weathered Steel Exterior of the Summit Haus in Utah

A modern house has a weathered steel exterior that looked very unique and attractive!

Most of the time, concrete or wood are used for the exterior of the house. Sometimes, other materials are utilized like stone or corrugated steel, zinc or even weathered steel for a rustic look. I know you have seen so many beautiful homes already that we have featured here on Home Design Lover and here is another lovely home to add to that. What we will feature today is a modern rustic residence located on a sloped location. The look is totally unique because of the weathered steel exterior it used for the walls. But when you get to the interior, it has white walls and some subtle hint of rustic furniture and decors.

Notice how the interior used area rugs. In the living room, it has a sheepskin rug on top of the rectangular area rug. It is a nice combination, isn’t it? There are some nature-inspired decors everywhere too. The space may appear small but it has everything needed for the home.

This is the kitchen with a beautiful design and layout. What a beautiful view from the mountain alps! I wouldn’t get tired seeing that beauty if this is my kitchen. This space has gray and white color combinations and red island stools.

Another view of the kitchen with marble countertop and triangular pendant lights above the island. You can see here the modern equipment from the refrigerator to the range. Even the fixtures look modern too.

The kitchen is just near the dining and living area because the house has an open layout. It can be easily accessed from everywhere. It would also be easy to prepare food and drinks for guests too and for dinner time. What unites the space is the wooden flooring in the interior.

A wooden staircase is used to access the upper area of the house. It used steel railings that looked nice when paired with the wooden treads and landing. I love it that they retained the texture of the wood for the stairs. It look nice all together! And yes, guess that dog love the staircase too!

This is the bedroom of the house that looks so comfy and serene. Its colors just made it appear more appealing despite the neutral hues. The beautiful surroundings can also be seen from the bedroom. Notice that it has four table lamps all in all as the source of light in the space.

A black fireplace also sits in the bedroom as a source of warmth while resting and sleeping. It is also a lovely contrast with the white bedding set, white drapes and white lounge chair. I can tell that this is such a relaxing bedroom and very conducive for sleeping or even for playtime! The sheets it used for the bed looks very comfortable!
